I had "good enough" parents, certainly. They made mistakes, because they were human, but my childhood was basically fine. But I still have very strong parental transference with my T, and I've had the same kind of transference with a couple of male teachers in my past. (Never had specifically maternal transference, though, and I am not sure how that would manifest for me.)
I might have been lacking something I might have wanted as a kid, but that's not just my parents' fault. I think I was an odd, not very pleasant child.
